Alternatively is you feel that the machine is leaking I would recommend keeping the rainwater out by using a heat shrink wrap – polythene will work well and you can either purchase the film on the roll or use our pallet heat shrink covers which may work well for ticket machines. The material is lightweight and water-resistant; it also means people will still be able to press all the buttons as it will be tightly wrapped to the machine (you’ll need to make a gap for the coin and ticket slots). The shrink wrap needs to be applied using a shrink gun – a video of how to use this can be found here – however you will need to be near a power source to be able to use it.
